  2. ILLEGAL ORGAN TRADE ILLEGAL ORGAN TRADE Organ trade (also known as Red market) is the trading of human organs, tissues, or other body products, usually for transplantation. ... There is a worldwide shortage of organs available for transplantation, yet the commercial trade of human organs is illegal in all countries except Iran. Human organ trade has become a lucrative business in the black market as some medical professionals, nurses and middlemen are involved in this malpractice putting the lives of vulnerable poor people at risk. Even some poverty-ridden communities sell their organs to feed their children and cover their domestic costs. The Middlemen sell the organs in millions of dollars while offering peanuts to the organ sellers.

  3. Organ trade became illegal in 1984. In most countries buying or selling organs is illegal. In the United States the sale of organs was banned under the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 (NOTA). Yet, since the act's passage only one person has ever been prosecuted and convicted of organ trafficking.

  4. The Asian countries such as  India, Iran and  Pakistan have a high level of cases especially related to bonded labour and brick kiln workers whose wages are withheld by the owners and compelling them to sell their organs to cover their debts, daily lives and health costs since no health insurance facility is provided to these poor brick kiln workers.

  5. The Human organ trafficking is a global issue and all the countries should be united to frame strict laws and put strict restrictions on those concerned with health systems such as doctors, nurses and medical professionals to stop such illegal practices by awarding exemplary hard punishments who are found involved in such inhuman and illegal organ trade.
